Message: [QUOTE="nikki, post: 174223, member: 18126"] My fiancé, Red, hyper-extended his knee in a race this August. Here was his healing process/timeline just to give you some idea: 8/12 - hyper-extended knee in race (no braces worn) 8/18 - tried to race again - re-injured knee 1st lap of practice 9/2 - raced again (with knee braces) - felt good & no problems since So his healing process was a couple of weeks. He wore a neoprene brace on the injured knee while at work, tried to rest it as much as possible, used lots of muscle rub on it, but the MX knee braces were the key to getting back on the track so soon. They will definately help against hyper-extension. Just be careful about thinking the knee feels okay after a few days and pushing it and re-injuring it again before you really give it a good chance to heal. My best advice is to give it at least two good weeks to heal. [/QUOTE]
